intro chords to purple rain who played it the best

prince on the piano intro,
miko weaver
,dez dickerson
(yes there are recordings from 1999 tour rehearsel of dez playing purple rain) mike scott
,levi seacer jr
or wendy?
who played the best intro chords to purple rain .since i think that purple rain chords sounds the best played on guitar my vote goes to miko weaver.

when miko played those chords it sounded realy special,it sounded like that song realy means something to him -example listen to purple rain from nagoya 1989 .

while wendy is the most famous for playing those chords whenever she played it it seemed underpeformed ,its maybe she wasn't skilled enough on guitar back then.

dez dickerson playing it on 1999 tour rehearsals sounds intersting but song was still work in progress so i can't be sure.

mike scott and levi never added the flavour to purple rain chords ,they sounded like cruel proffesionals.

Where do you get that Wendy wasnt skilled? She has played guitar ALL her life and a accomplished musician as well. She was even born into a family of performers. Underperformed? POH LEEESE!!!! She was wonderful in the 80's playing those first chords. You obviously didnt grow up during that era did you? I think you need to read up a bit.

I can see myself 98 years old and chatting on the org with cane and walker in hand plus going to tribute concerts cause that guy name Prince will be long gone and will have to sit next to the speakers just to hear the dam music because my hearing aid died

They all did it nicely, but Prince is the best.

SPYZFAN1	They all played it well. Don't really have a favorite. And Wendy (IMHO) did a great job back then. I watched the PARADE show the other night and she tore it up on rhythm guitar.

Scheesh! They're Wendy's chords! The way people dis Wendy around here, I can't believe it. Wendy is the Barack Obama of all of Prince's guitar players. She's completely qualified, but she gets constantly nay-sayed.

Prince stands for Penises Rise In Naughty Creamy Explosions, therefore confirming Prince's satanic homosexual tendencies once and for all. -NouveauDance

who cares as long as the song comes 2 abrupt end is fine by me so whoever does that gets my vote on playing it the best nod

better yet the best versions of this song goes as follows

syracuse 1985
dortmund germany 1988
nude tour japan 1990

and the ultimate per4mance

the gold experience tour ..

oh yeah that's right it wasn't played at all until the last show in hawaii in 96

I'm on the phone with Clarence Willliams III 2 bitch slap Prince again. Then I'm going 2 tie Prince up and let Apples have her revenge and bitchslap him again!

It isnt about being "touchy" as you put it. Its about how some dont understand that Wendy IS a acomplished musician even if some dis her or not. nod
